TEMPERANCE ITEMS.

LAST year 1926 women were arrested
in Boston; 1854 of them were drunk
when arrested.
IT is estimated by the New York Sun
that New York consumes annually
6,OO0,O 600 barrels of beer at cost of
$3S, 400, 600.
A CORRESPONDENT of the Christian
Onion. writing from England, says
that usually there is on the communion
table in Nonconformist churches one
cup tied with blue ribbon. This is
for those communicates who object to
using any but unfermented wine.
The brewers of this city hold mort
cages on liquor saloons to the amount
of over S7,O0O,OOO, and, to get back
their money, they have largely in
creased the number of these saloons,
and are now fitting them up in gor-
geous style to draw the giddy flies into
their treacherous webs.-N. Y. Witness.
Two SAMPLES of whisky were lately
purchased in Worcester, Mass, the Spy
says. at the instigation of q local
clergyman, who had them analyzed.
One was from prominent drugstore,
the other from one of the lowest dives
in town. Both, the report says, were
alike vile, and SO near alike that only
an expert could distinguish one from
Slc other.
A PROMINENT life insurance man in
Hartford, Conn, says that his expert
ence and the records of life insurance
have shown him that young men of
twenty years of age who abstain entire
ly from all kinds of intoxicating
drinks have good prospect of living
to be sixty-four years of age; while the
moderate drinker, at twenty years Of
age, can only expect to live to be thir-
ty-five and one-half years old.
PROGRESS in Temperance there cer-
tainly has been, but when we look
abroad and see what the saloon still
means in our community life. how large
a feature it is in social problems, how
deeply it colors and affects not only the
character and tone of our politics, but
those of our morals, of our intellectual
status, of our domestic existence, it
will have to be admitted that hitherto
popular sensibility on this question has
been sluggish and dull, and that for a
nation commonly credited with capac-
ity for self-government, we have o
great deal to learn and a great many
crying evils to get rid Of George Fred
eric Parsons, in atlantic Monthly.
We put drop of alcohol into mans
eye. 1t poisons it. We try it upon the
lining of a living stomach. Again it
poisons it. We study, after death. the
stomachs of drinking men, and find
alcohol produces in regular stages red
ness, intense congestions, morbid Sc
cretions, deeper hurt, destruction of
parts, utter ruin. We study its influ-
ence upon the health and strength of
sailors and soldiers, and find it helps
to freeze them in the Arctic regions,
and exhaust them in the tropics. We
watch two regiments on long march
in India, one with and the other with
out grog. and are driven to the oonclu-
sion that even moderate quantities of
alcohol weaken the muscles and break
the endurance. We visit the training
grounds of oarsmen, pedestrians and
prize-fghters and learn everywhere the
same lesson. alcohol Is poison to mus
ole and brain. Dio Lss0ia

ENGLISH TEMPERANCE LAWS.

Early Endesvors Of Great Britain to
Check the Rum Curse Running Riot
Among Her People.
The most stringent laws we have had
passed were those of James l., which
may almost be called the first piece of
temperance legislation; for though the
act of Edward vi. gave power to the
justices to suppress unnecessary tip
pling-houses, it was chiefly directed
against using unlawful games, and
bound the licensed victualers to keep
good order in their houses. The act
in the first year of James was intended
to restrain the inordinate haunting and
tippling in inns and ale-houses; it de-
clares the ''true use of ale-houses" to
be for the relief Of wayfarers, and not
for the entertainment of lewde and
idle people" There was to be a PEN
atty Of ten shillings for permitting
unlawful drinking" and all drinking
was unlawful except by bona fide trav-
elers, and by artisans and laborers
during their dinner hour. The public
house was only to be open to residents
in the locality for one hour in the
day for the consumption of liquor
on the premises. This act was made
perpetual, with some notifications,
intended to render conviction
more easy, in the last Parliament of
James. In the first of Charles the
penalties were somewhat relaxed, but
the law could not be enforced, aud
under these stringentlaws drunkenness
increased apace. 1t had reached an
extraordinary pitch in 1859. when a
French Protestant wrote from London;
''There is within this city and in all the
towns Of England which have passed
through, SO prodigious number of
houses where they sell certain drink
called ale, that I think q good half of
the inhabitants may be denominated
ale-bouse keepers. But what
Is most deplorable where gentlemen sit
and spend much more of their time
drinking a muddy kind of beverage,
and using tobacco, which has univers-
ally besotted the nation, and at which
hear they have consumed many noble
estates. And that nothing
may be wanting to the height of luxury
and impiety of this abomination, they
have translated the organs out of the
churches to set them up in taverns,
chanting their dithyrambics and bestiAl
bacchsnalias 70 the tune Of those in

was finally determined to press the nomination
upon Senator Allen, in the hope that the older
citizens Of the State would rally to his support.
They did 30, and he was the only candidate on
the ticket elected. In 1875 Governor Allen was
renorninated, and was defeated by r. B. Hayes.
He died in 1879, at Fruit Hill, where most Of his
time after his marriage was spent.
An old friend Of Governor Allen has Just told
me an anecdote which Is worth repeating. The
Governor was very fond of his residence, Fruit
Hill, and had caused q very spacious covered
veranda to be built around II In order that he
might have sheltered place for walking when
he chose to take II in that way. This veranda
was uncommonly wide and often attracted at
tention by reason Of Its great dimensions. One
morning Yankee book agent trudged out to
Fruit Hin to sell copy Of some subscription
book Of little value to the old Governor. The
agent was not greeted very cordially, as Mr.. Al
len was not in the best Of spirts and as he turn
ed to depart without having made sale, he re-
marked: Governor, It appears to me you've
got mighty sight shed-room around this
house." The ollusion to the porches touched
the old mans fancy, and he called the detected
agent back, purchased q book and invited him
to dine with him.
There were few men of larger acquaintance
in the Scioto Valley than z. p. Kendrick, the
surveyor Of the Virginia military lands. His
long, useful life was full of interesting events.
He was not among the first settlers OF Chilli
oothe, but he spent about seventy years of his
life there.
Eleazer Porter Kendrick was born in Hano-
yer, New Hampshire, the seat Of Dartmouth
College, September 16, 1870. The college was q
mission school for Indians when e. p. Ken
drick's grandfather emigrated from Connecti-
cut TO Hanover, where he was killed by fall
ing tree, while engaged In the construction OF
log cabin. The family IL English in its
origin, and by virtue Of tradition Il descended
from Richard CBur de Lion, the coat of arms
being lion rampant. This family has pro-
duced great many eminent men, both In this
country and in England. DR.. A. g. Kendrick,
the well known Greek scholar, is one Of its
members, and DR.. Nathaniel Kendrick, the
founder and one of the early Presidents of Ham,
tlton College, was brother Of e. p. Kendrick.
